A quick catch-up on the biggest country headlines, from chart wins to fresh tour dates and road-ready momentum.
Good morning, country fans — here’s your quick spin through the biggest headlines making noise right now.
Josh Ross just scored his first U.S. Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 with “Hate How You Look,” which moved up in its 40th week on the chart. That’s a big milestone for Ross, and it also pushed Ella Langley’s “Be Her” down after a four-week run at the top.

Current schedules include Morgan Wallen’s Still the Problem Tour, Luke Combs’ My Kind of Saturday Night Tour, Riley Green’s Cowboy as It Gets Tour, and newer dates from Thomas Rhett and Jason Aldean.

Chart momentum is still strong for a few familiar names. Bailey Zimmerman is back in the Country Airplay top 10 with “Chevy Silverado,” while Cole Swindell and Jelly Roll both landed fresh debuts on the chart. That’s the kind of movement country radio loves to keep an ear on. ([ca.billboard.com](https://ca.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/josh-ross-first-country-airplay-no-1-hate-how-you-look-1236282244/))
